Spa Night

Directed by Andrew Ahn

A closeted Korean-American teenager takes a job at a Korean spa to support his family, only to stumble upon a clandestine world of gay encounters that both terrifies and intrigues him.
Spa Night is a superb, understated coming-of-age film about a Korean-American teenager discovering his sexuality while carrying the weight of family expectations. Joe Seo gives a wonderfully restrained performance, and Andrew Ahn’s patient direction finds enormous meaning in silence and observation.
